BroadSoft Management Efficiency

BroadSoft's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well BroadSoft manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 211.13 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 59.4, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. BroadSoft has a current ratio of 2.59, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist BroadSoft until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, BroadSoft's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like BroadSoft sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for BroadSoft to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about BroadSoft's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

BroadSoft Stock Performance Indicators

The ability to make a profit is the ultimate goal of any investor. But to identify the right stock is not an easy task. Is BroadSoft a good investment? Although profit is still the single most important financial element of any organization, multiple performance indicators can help investors identify the equity that they will appreciate over time.
Some investors attempt to determine whether the market's mood is bullish or bearish by monitoring changes in market sentiment. Unlike more traditional methods such as technical analysis, investor sentiment usually refers to the aggregate attitude towards BroadSoft in the overall investment community. So, suppose investors can accurately measure the market's sentiment. In that case, they can use it for their benefit. For example, some tools to gauge market sentiment could be utilized using contrarian indexes, BroadSoft's short interest history, or implied volatility extrapolated from BroadSoft options trading.

Pair Trading with BroadSoft

One of the main advantages of trading using pair correlations is that every trade hedges away some risk. Because there are two separate transactions required, even if BroadSoft position performs unexpectedly, the other equity can make up some of the losses. Pair trading also minimizes risk from directional movements in the market. For example, if an entire industry or sector drops because of unexpected headlines, the short position in BroadSoft will appreciate offsetting losses from the drop in the long position's value.
The ability to find closely correlated positions to XL Fleet could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace XL Fleet when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back XL Fleet - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling XL Fleet Corp to buy it.
The correlation of XL Fleet is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as XL Fleet moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if XL Fleet Corp moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
Correlation analysis and pair trading evaluation for XL Fleet can also be used as hedging techniques within a particular sector or industry or even over random equities to generate a better risk-adjusted return on your portfolios.
